Friday Sky #5

Another blue sky - if I had taken this 6 hours earlier the sky would have looked grey, but we still haven't had rain.

I am a woman ...

I am a woman, not a man, created second in God's plan.
God's plan for womanhood is good; I wouldn't change it if I could.

Friday Sky #4

Another beautiful day!

Friday Sky #3

Royal wedding day - is it my imagination or is there a heart in the sky? (Completely unedited photo)

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

... and so do our children. We spent the day at the seaside today, it was a glorious day. The children spent hours in the sea and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I always wish we lived near to the sea when I am there, but I wonder if we would go any more if we lived even five miles away. I expect you still have to make a real effort to go.

Friday Sky #2

Oh dear, I forgot to take a picture last week and it was very late this week when I remembered hence ...

It is the Royal Wedding next Friday, so I wonder if I will remember?

Friday Sky

Thought I would take a picture of the sky from our garden for a few weeks - lets see how many weeks I can keep it up.

Friday 8th April

Choosing the right colour!

Isn't it hard to choose a new colour for your walls. I'm not very keen on the orginal, we will have to see how the new colour looks ... which one will it be?

Yummy!

Today we thought we'd make some cupcakes. I have recently purchased some silicon cupcake cases, so we tried them out. I have never piped onto cupcakes before, so we thought we would give that a go too.
The results:

Not everyone likes icing :)

Silcon cases worked really well.

.... "The cakes we made are yummy aren't they mummy!".

Building project

Spent an hour or so this afternoon building a model of the tabernacle with my children http://www.gospelhall.org. They really enjoyed it. Behind the veil are models of the ark of the covenant complete with a jar of manna, Aaron's rod and the 10 commandments! We had been learning about the Day of Atonement in Sunday School.

Pray before you speak

I am prone to putting my foot staright in it, but reacting in a hasty manner which generally has a negative affect on the situation. Heard a good sermon this weekend encouraging us to pray before we speak and respond in humility. I am trying hard, but old habbits are hard to break.I'll keep on praying.

Christmas concert

My daughter and I took part in the "Haynes Christmas Concert" this afternoon in aid of the Savannah Education Trust. The "scratch" orchestra was made up of 68 musicians, old and young. Some of us older ones only pick up our instruments once a year for this event and for some of the very youngest it is their first opportunity to play with a group of musicians. We meet for a short rehearsal and then play to an audience of about 150 people. This year we also attempted singing the Hallelujah Chorus with only one practice run through before hand - it sounded quite good I thought!

A nice way to start the Christmas celebration. The children are now wanting to put the tree up and next week will bring Carol services and the end of school term.
